Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, HCFC1 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 13 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of HCFC1’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), where HCFC1 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types HCFC1 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as THCA show the opposite, repressed pattern.
HNSC, LIHC, and COAD are the cancer types where HCFC1 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
RNA tumor vs normal associations by lineage
Ranked by sampling consensus. Fold-change is the tumor-versus-normal difference in HCFC1 RNA (log2); positive values indicate higher expression in tumor. p-values are from the differential-expression test.
